"&lt;p&gt;                      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - Two-time defending champion John Isner won the battle of the tallest players on the ATP tour, defeating Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3) on Friday to advance to the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Isner won his 13th straight match on Newport's grass courts and raised his mark to 13-0 in tiebreakers during the streak.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The second-seeded Isner, listed at 6-foot-9, served 23 aces, including three in each of the tiebreaks. The 6-foot-10 Karlovic had 14 aces, but double faulted on the match's final point.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The 1 hour, 37 minute match, played in humid conditions with peeks of sunshine, had few extended points.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Karlovic played his first ATP tournament since being sidelined with spinal meningitis from late April to early May.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copyright 2014 Associated Press.
